NANOPROOF NANO-8

Alkyl silane/siloxane and flurocarbon in watery emulsion, water-repellent for mineral absorbing building Materials

APPEARANCE

White/off-white-milk liquid

CHEMICAL NATURE

Alkyl silane/siloxane and flurocarbon

STORAGE STABILITY

12 months in closed packaging. An eventual slight increase of viscosity will be solved by preliminary stirring. Store at temperatures between 5 and 40°C.

PROPERTIES

  • NANO-8 is a watery emulsion, exempt from volatile organic components, used to create water-repellency in silicate and alkaline absorbing building materials.
  • NANO-8 is supplied ready-to-use
  • impregnating water-repellent agent for mineral building materials
  • it improves the treated materials resistance to frost/thaw cycles
  • high penetration in the mineral absorbing building materials, which assures a long duration of the water-repellent protective effect.
  • high reduction of water absorption
  • VOC free
  • Reduces efflorescence.
  • UV ray stability
  • effectiveness against chloride and soluble salts penetration
  • very high stability to acid and alkaline solutions.

APPLICATION

NANO-8 reacts with the capillary structure of the mineral material and forms an invisible water-repellent barrier, which significantly reduces water penetration, but still allows for vapour transpiration. Nano-8 also restricts efflorescence.

Nano-8 is added to the water component of your total mix which can then be added to mix batches. Mix well for complete dispersion.

DOSAGES

Dosage is 0.5-2.0% of the cement content based on weight. ( not total volume of mix). Preliminary tests should be done to establish best results. Recommended dosage of 600ml/50kg cement powder.
